Polar UDC, created largely by the Scott Polar Library at Cambridge, England, is a variant of Universal Decimal Classification. Polar UDC arranges materials by geography, rather than subject. A system of numerical classes, representing geographic regions overlays the standard UDC subject classification. This allows for the co-location, on shelves, of materials about a place, regardless of the subject. In this example, all of the books shown on the shelf are in class *440.2, which represents Nunavut, in Canada.

This image is part of a series illustrating how to load an electrophoresis gel from Tyler Research Corporation. This image demonstrates the electrophoresis gel set-up with the lid closed. This technique is taught in Molecular Genetics and Heredity: Biology 207. This image was created as part of the University of Alberta OER image database project in Biological Sciences.

More than 1.25 million deaths are caused by traffic accidents every year, 95% of those are due to human error. To address and resolve this problem we are taking the help of an innovative concept, Connected Vehicle (CV). A connected car can assist the human driver by communicating with its surroundings and cooperating with other connected cars to enhance driver’s safety and comfort. Three fundamental components of this emerging technology, Connection, Communication, and Cooperation, will allow the future car to build a personality representing the human driver. This image portrays the individuality dispersing from connected cars while they are united by common goals of enhancing traffic safety, efficiency and productivity on a global scale. My research aims to determine the extents of potential benefits expected from this promising technology. Since CV-technology is currently in its earlier days of evolution, the outcome of this research will be instrumental for policymakers in resource allocation and investment decision-making to shape the future of our transportation system. // Program of study: PhD // Faculty/Department: Civil & Environmental Engineering // Place of creation: University of Alberta // Award: Semi-Finalist, Images of Research Competition 2019

Every winter, when the ice gets thick enough, people go onto lakes to fish through the ice. An ice auger is used to drill a hole in the ice through which people fish. Many families make it a weekend outing. Some have open bottomed tents to keep out of the wind. People drive vehicles out onto the ice to their favorite spots.
